What is the reason why the driver's seat cannot control the other three windows?

The driver's position cannot control the up and down movement of the other three windows. This situation indicates that the window lift switch is damaged. Below is the relevant introduction: One-touch window control: One-touch window control refers to a system where the car window glass can be controlled to move up or down to position with a single button press. Cars equipped with one-touch window control have a two-stage window lift control switch. The first button position functions the same as a regular electric window. The second position allows the window to automatically fully open or close with a single press and release. The one-touch control symbols vary among different car models, with most currently featuring an "Auto" English label. Some are simply called the "one-touch lock button," where a long press locks all windows to rise with one touch. A long press on the unlock button lowers all windows with one touch. Anti-pinch: One-touch windows generally have an "anti-pinch" function. During the automatic closing operation, if an object is detected between the glass and the window frame, the window closing operation will automatically stop midway and return to its initial state to prevent the risk of pinching hands.
As an experienced driver, I have encountered situations where the driver's seat cannot control other windows multiple times. The problem often lies in the main control switch on the door, where button wear or internal contact oxidation can prevent signal transmission. Blown fuses are also common, so check whether the corresponding window fuse in the engine compartment's fuse box is intact. Wiring issues, such as loose connections or aging and cracking, can also cause signal interruptions. Never attempt to handle it while driving; pull over to inspect simple components. If that doesn't work, promptly visit a repair shop and let the technician use instruments to test the switch module and wiring to ensure driving safety. Make it a habit to regularly test all switch functions to prevent issues before they arise.
I've been driving for several years, and the malfunctioning window control on the driver's side is quite frustrating. The master switch might have a stuck button or a burnt internal circuit board, preventing it from sending commands. Alternatively, a fuse might have blown—try locating and replacing the relevant one in the fuse box near the door or under the dashboard. Wiring issues like loose connections or aged, short-circuited wires are common culprits, especially in older models. If the individual window switches still work, it likely points to a master control failure. Avoid reckless disassembly; use a multimeter to check if the voltage is normal. If unresolved, seek professional diagnosis at a repair shop—spending a bit ensures reliability.
